More coffee. I replied to the wrong thread. Trying again. I'll bite. What does the following reference to "forensics" mean, and how does it square with previous discussions that the US govt. has a policy of not tracking its customers? Tim Ball, director of systems and development for the U.S. Senate's Democratic Policy Committee knows what it's like to be under constant spider attack. The Senate website relies extensively on server logs for forensics, but Ball is no longer confident that approach will be helpful in the long run. Would automated approaches such as connection throttling work better for fending off "spider attacks", than manual inspection of logs? The only requirement for forensics that I can think of, would be to analyze a hack or compromise of some sort. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
